Odds are, they\u2019re a pro at dating on the go<\/a>, and are searching for someone who welcomes their hunger for travel. If you\u2019re lucky enough to land one of these gypsy nurses, don\u2019t ruin it by making common mistakes. Dating a travel nurse can be difficult, but if you follow these 5 easy tips for dating a travel nurse<\/em>, you and your nurse will be well on your way to happily ever after!<\/p>\n

5 Tips For Dating a Travel Nurse<\/h2>\n

Don\u2019t Expect Them to Stay in One Place
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Expecting your traveler to leave their beloved career behind and find a stationary position is one of the quickest ways to lose them. Most likely, they chose this career because of their love for travel, and asking them to give it up shows a lack of compassion for their wants, and can be considered selfish. Encourage their wanderlust, and always make sure they know you are behind them 100 percent. In the future, a conversation about staying on the move or settling down is in order. For now, just roll with the punches<\/a> when dating a travel nurse.<\/p>\n

\"dating<\/p>\n

Text, Call, and Skype
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Send cute texts throughout the day, and have scheduled phone calls when you’re both available;\u00a0this will reassure them\u00a0that you\u2019re thinking about them regularly. Although, it’s important not to be overbearing with these calls and texts. After all, your nurse\u00a0appreciates their space and time alone. Nevertheless, nursing\u00a0can be stressful, and your constant companionship is really comforting. Plan a \u201cSkype date\u201d and eat dinner together. It sounds cheesy, but these little things really help build relationships when your significant other can\u2019t be there in person. Dating a travel nurse is all about communication and staying in contact.<\/p>\n

Listen<\/h3>\n

This sounds elementary, but when you text, call or Skype, make sure you are truly listening. Yeah, all that medical jargon can be hard to understand and hospital gossip isn\u2019t that fun when you don\u2019t know the offenders, but listening is important. Nursing can be a really difficult\u00a0career, and venting can help ease stress tremendously. Releasing frustrations to a loved one can help nurses cope with bad days, and it can really help strengthen your relationship! Nurse burnout is a serious issue<\/a>, so having someone to turn to is very important.<\/p>\n
